They're at DIA.

Well, it's not a crucifix in a jar of urine.

What's your point?

So it has to be that blatant for you to think something may be off with these murals? Quite honestly, I think they're brutal enough. What's the point? Even if you research the artist, Leo Tanguma, who claims to juxtapose genocide with humanity, where are the truly "harmonious" works?

Art interpretation is far from my strongest skill (much closer to my weakest), but it seems pretty clear that the first one is a comment on the brutality of war and the "happy family" shows all the world's people united in peace while bending a sword into a plowshare. I am reminded a bit of Picasso's "Guernica".

interesting piece by Picasso.

If you look at the top, you'll see the "all-seeing eye," which includes the light inside it. To the bottom left, on the figure's hand, is a star/pentagram. (I blew up the graphic to get a closer look.) There is the horned animal (bull/baphomet figure). These are just a few observations. It's quite fascinating actually.



I have to assume you're being tongue in cheek...but I did laugh out loud.

Now, I thought this would be a thread complaining about security at DIA. Where they once asked me if I could "take out" my pacemaker during their security check. Seriously.
